Help on Lists and Indentation

You can create different lists in a quite natural way. All you do is indent the line containing the list item with at least one space. To nest lists of different levels, you use different depths of indenting. All items on the same indent level belong to the same (sub-)list. That also means that you cannot change the style of a list after you started it.

Indentation

You can indent text with one or more spaces. This is especially useful if your are discussing on a wiki page and want to have some kind of thread level that is viewable

Example:

If you indent text
like this, then it is indented in the output
you can have multiple levels of indent

Is displayed:

If you indent text

like this, then it is indented in the output

you can have multiple levels of indent

Unnumbered Lists

For a simple unnumbered(bulleted) list use the asterisk * "*". You can put linebreaks in the wiki markup of a list item by indenting the additional lines at the same level as the initial star that began the list item (without preceding it with an asterisk). If you want to make a line break inside a list simply use <<BR>> at the end of the term after which you like to see the break.
